‘CLEAR­ANCE OF JUN­GLE CAMP AC­COM­PLISHED’

PARIS: French au­thor­i­ties said on Wed­nes­day they had fin­ished clear­ing the “Jun­gle”, a shanty town out­side Calais built by mi­grants who had hoped to cross to Bri­tain but who are now mostly be­ing dis­persed across France. The op­er­a­tion passed off peace­fully though some mi­grants torched shel­ters. “This is the end of the Jun­gle,” re­gional pre­fect Fa­bi­enne Buc­cio said. “Mis­sion ac­com­plished.” – Reuters
